Esther 4

1 Ke Mordecai el lohng ke ma nukewa orek inge, el seya nuknuk lal ke inse toasr. Na el nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa ac sang apat nu fin sifal, ac fahsr sasla in siti sac, wowoyak ke pusra lulap ac arulana asor,

Now when Mordecai perceiued all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackecloth and ashes, and went out into the middes of the citie, and cryed with a great crye, and a bitter.

2 nwe ke el sun mutunoa nu ke lohm sin tokosra. El tiana ilyak nu loac, mweyen tia filfilla mwet in utyak nu we elos fin nukum nuknuk yohk eoa.

And he came euen before the Kings gate, but he might not enter within the Kings gate, being clothed with sackecloth.

3 In facl nukewa ma mwe fahkak lun tokosra akkalemyeyuk we, oasr tung mwemelil inmasrlon mwet Jew. Elos lalo, tung, ac wowoyak ke asor lulap, ac pus selos nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa ac oan in apat.

And in euery prouince, and place, whither the Kings charge and his commission came, there was great sorowe among the Iewes, and fasting, and weeping and mourning, and many laye in sackecloth and in ashes.

4 Ke mutan kulansap ac mwet eunuch lal Kasra Esther fahk nu sel ouiya ma Mordecai el oru, el liksreni na supwarla. El supwala kutu nuknuk nu sel Mordecai elan sang aolla nuknuk yohk eoa, a el tiana eis.

Then Esters maydes and her eunuches came and tolde it her: therefore the Queene was very heauie, and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai, and to take away his sackecloth from him, but he receiued it not.

5 Na Esther el solalma Hathach, sie sin mwet eunuch ke inkul lun tokosra su pakpuki sel tokosra tuh elan mwet kulansap lal kasra, ac el sap elan som nu yorol Mordecai ac siyuk lah mea se sikyak ac mea sripauk.

Then called Ester Hatach one of the Kings eunuches, whom he had appointed to serue her, and gaue him a commandement vnto Mordecai, to knowe what it was, and why it was.

6 Hathach el som nu yorol Mordecai ke nien toeni lun mwet uh ke mutun lohm sel tokosra.

So Hatach went foorth to Mordecai vnto the streete of the citie, which was before the Kings gate.

7 Mordecai el fahkang nu sel ma nukewa ma sikyak nu sel, ac oayapa ke lupan mani se ma Haman el wulela in srukak nu ke nien fil mani lun tokosra fin susakla mwet Jew nukewa.

And Mordecai tolde him of all that which had come vnto him, and of the summe of the siluer that Haman had promised to pay vnto the Kings treasures, because of the Iewes, for to destroy them.

8 El sang nu sel Hathach mwe fahkak se ma simla ac supweyukelik in acn Susa, su sapkakin in sikiyukla mwet Jew. Mordecai el siyuk sel elan usla nu sel Esther, ac akkalemye ouiya inge nu sel, ac siyuk elan utyak nu yorol tokosra ac kwafe sel elan nunak munas nu sin mwet lal, mwet Jew.

Also he gaue him the copy of the writing and commission that was giuen at Shushan, to destroy them, that he might shewe it vnto Ester and declare it vnto her, and to charge her that she should goe in to the King, and make petition and supplication before him for her people.

9 Hathach el oru oana,

So when Hatach came, he told Ester the wordes of Mordecai.

10 ac Esther el fahk elan folokla ac fahk kas inge nu sel Mordecai:

Then Ester sayde vnto Hatach, and commanded him to say vnto Mordecai,

11 “Kutena mwet, mukul ku mutan, fin utyak nu in kalkal se oan loac in lohm sin tokosra ke tia solsol el, mwet sacn ac enenu in misa. Ma sap se pa inge. Mwet nukewa etu ke ma se inge, mutawauk ke mwet pwapa fulat lun tokosra nwe ke mwet in mutunfacl saya pac. Inkanek sefanna sie mwet el ku in kaingkunla ma sap se inge: pa tokosra el fin kolang scepter gold lal nu sel, na mwet sacn ac tia anwuki. Tusruktu ac malem se lac tokosra el soenna suliyu.”

All the Kings seruants and the people of the Kings prouinces doe knowe, that whosoeuer, man or woman, that commeth to the King into the inner court, which is not called, there is a law of his, that he shall dye, except him to whom the King holdeth out the golden rodde, that he may liue. Now I haue not bene called to come vnto the King these thirtie dayes.

12 Ke Mordecai el lohng kas inge sel Esther,

And they certified Mordecai of Esters wordes.

13 el supwala kas in top lal nu sel, “Nik kom nunku mu kom mukena inmasrlon mwet Jew ac ku in kaingkunla ouiya se inge ke sripen na kom muta inkul fulat sin tokosra.

And Mordecai saide, that they should answere Ester thus, Thinke not with thy selfe that thou shalt escape in the Kings house, more then all the Iewes.

14 Kom fin mihsla ac tia kas ke pacl ouinge uh, inkanek in kasru fah tuku lucng me nu sin mwet Jew, ac elos ac fah moliyukla, tusruktu kom ac misa, ac sou lun papa tomom fah wanginla. Na su etu, sahp ma na orek tuh kom in kasrala nu ke pacl se inge!”

For if thou holdest thy peace at this time, comfort and deliuerance shall appeare to the Iewes out of another place, but thou and thy fathers house shall perish: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdome for such a time?

15 Esther el supwala kas in top inge nu sel Mordecai:

Then Ester commanded to answere Mordecai,

16 “Fahla ac eisani mwet Jew nukewa in Susa nu sie. Kowos lalo ac pre keik. Nik kowos mongo ku nim kutena ma ke len tolu ac fong tolu. Nga, ac mutan kulansap luk, fah oru oapana. Tukun ma inge, nga fah som nu yorol tokosra, finne lain ma sap. Nga fin oru tuh misa, na nga misa.”

Goe, and assemble all the Iewes that are found in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and eate not, nor drinke in three dayes, day nor night. I also and my maydes will fast likewise, and so will I go in to the King, which is not according to the lawe: and if I perish, I perish.

17 Na Mordecai el som, ac oru ma nukewa ma Esther el sap elan oru.

So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Ester had commanded him.
